A bunch of companies argued that small phones were just too hard to make so they wouldnt do it. I also calculated back then that the flip series from samsung also had an internal volume(not even accounting for the extra hardware associated with folding) that was small enough for a 6 inch phone. Probably a purpose designed small phone today could have flagship internals while being about 5 inches.
Who said they weren’t possible?
